Radical Face - Black Eyes lyrics

When you last left me my blood was in a jar
And you kept it on your mantelpiece
I couldn’t count on anyone to
Stand there behind me
And keep the dogs from dragging
Me off with them
While I slept you crept in and pulled
The rug right out from under me
Then the rain stole away and took
The parts that kept me functioning

My heart will be blacker than your
Eyes when I’m through with you

And I said
This life ain’t no love song
While I marched on blindly
And my knuckles dragged across the walls
And the birds up there mock me
And the scenery’s turned wicked
And your name is trapped beneath my tongue



All of the roads are one now
Each choice is the same
All the roads, they are one now
Each choice is the same
I won’t show my hands now
I know this ain’t a game
All the roads, they are one now
Each choice is

Take a step, take another
Step, take another step
Not a care for where they fall
You burned me, yeah you’ve burned me
Yeah you’ve burned me now one too many times
My thoughts are the cold kind
I’ve got storm clouds that are
Brewing behind my eyes

And my heart will be blacker than your
Eyes when I’m through with you
